Pool

Aquatic Centre

MacEwan University Sport and Wellness boasts a beautiful 25-metre pool featuring a shallow teach area for little ones and Edmonton's only in-pool climbing wall. Drop-in aquatics classes, lane swim, private parties and public swim times are available. A 40-person hot tub and steam rooms are also available in the brightly-lit, relaxing aquatic space.

The aquatics facility in the Christenson Family Centre for Sport and Wellness recently underwent upgrades with lighting, mechanical and air handling to meet current standards.
